Orbify works like a good medicine.
Our actionable, user-friendly platform alleviates the pain of tracking all your goods and ensuring they’re not linked to deforestation.
But just when you thought you got all the pieces in place to cruise through the EUDR compliance process, you feel a new headache coming on when you realize: the required documentation submission is terribly tedious!
The EUDR’s mandate extends beyond operators’ responsibility to prove that their commodities are deforestation-free.
You must also submit a written statement to confirm that the company has conducted a thorough due diligence process to ensure the products are deforestation-free and legally produced.
Submitting this due diligence statement - in short: DDS - serves as the final step towards EUDR compliance following your risk assessment and mitigation process.
While the European Commission has developed the long-standing online platform ”TRACES NT” (“Trade Control and Expert System New Technology”) to manage many existing trade-related goods certifications, it now hosts a new EU Information System, dedicated specifically to the EUDR.
But here’s the thing: users are struggling, switching between systems, re-entering data, lamenting a lack of integration with monitoring dashboards, encountering difficulty reusing data, all while also experiencing a high risk of manual errors.
Don’t want to deal with any of this? Skip another headache with Orbify! Here is a comparison of the old way of submitting a DDS vs how to do it with Orbify.
Log in to the EU Commission’s TRACESNT portal
Manually find or enter EUDR-compliant plot details
Fill out supplier data by hand
Attach required documents
Review and submit DDS
Congrats, you have finally submitted a DDS covering ONE supplier.
Oh, you have more suppliers? In that case:
Repeat for each supplier
And finally:
Download confirmation and store it separately
Or you could just choose to do it all in one, time efficient and error free way:
Navigate to your EUDR-compliant project in Orbify
Click “Create DDS” from within the project dashboard
Pre-filled data from existing monitoring (e.g. plot ID, coordinates)
Enter EORI number (required once)
One-click submission directly to TracesNT via API
DDS status and confirmation stored inside Orbify
In short: Orbify eliminates the need for EU portal logins, pre-fills most data from existing monitoring, and centralizes DDS tracking and record keeping.
The result:
Submit your DDS via TracesNT - no need to log into the EU portal.
With Orbify, EUDR compliance becomes seamless, transforming a complex, error-prone process into a streamlined, efficient task. We save you valuable time and significantly reduce your risk of costly mistakes.
For teams submitting dozens or hundreds of DDSs this is a game changer. But however many suppliers you are overseeing, Orbify’s integrated solution scales with your needs and ensures that submitting DDSs is no longer a burden.
